What This School Does Well
Queen Victoria Primary School is a happy, inclusive place where caring adults support all children to thrive. The school has particularly strong early years provision and works hard to remove barriers so that disadvantaged pupils and those with additional needs make good progress. Leaders have high expectations for behaviour and attendance, creating a calm, welcoming environment where pupils feel valued and safe.
Key Strengths
- Early years is a particular strength with passionate leaders, warm relationships, and a thoughtfully designed curriculum that prepares children well for Year 1
- Strong inclusive culture where all pupils, regardless of background or need, are supported to achieve and make progress from their starting points
- Effective safeguarding with an open, positive culture where safety is everyone's responsibility and pupils feel safe and valued
Areas for Improvement
- Spelling and handwriting errors are not always addressed quickly enough, meaning some pupils continue to make mistakes
- Fewer pupils reach the higher standard at the end of key stage 2 - leaders are working to increase this proportion
- Participation in extra-curricular clubs is not as high as leaders would like
- Knowledge about different cultures and religions is more limited for some pupils
Safeguarding
Safeguarding standards are met - leaders have established an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and all legal requirements are fulfilled.
Extracurricular Activities
Wheelchair basketball, sports clubs, sign language, cooking, gardening, play leader programme, residential visit in Years 3 and 4, trips, visiting speakers
